Drake Promises a Return to Roots, DJ Akademiks Reveals, Fans React with Skepticism and Hope

Drake

Drake is reportedly gearing up to drop music that aligns with what his fans have been craving, according to DJ Akademiks. During a recent stream, Akademiks divulged insights into the Toronto rapper’s plans for his upcoming releases.

“You can say this is a confirmed thing,” Akademiks stated. “This is him to me. He says, ‘Yo Ak, I’m back to giving everybody who loves me what they love from me.’ That’s a direct quote. Y’all got it. That’s as much as I can say that he said.”

When the clip surfaced on X (formerly Twitter), reactions were a mix of excitement and doubt. “Bro been telling his fans he’s gonna go to his old sound for the last 3 albums I don’t believe it,” one user commented. Another fan expressed hope, saying, “I hope so, I personally want a Drake/Wayne collab album tbh that’s something like NWTS imo.”

This isn’t the first time Akademiks has hinted at new music from Drake recently. He previously suggested that the “Family Matters” rapper is planning to subtly diss Kendrick Lamar soon. “It’s really never over. I can’t wait to hear the first sneak diss,” he mentioned. “Matter of fact, I won’t even tell y’all what I heard but the first sneak diss Drake got that’s dissing Kendrick, how he positions it, that’s going to be interesting.” Drake has been embroiled in a feud with Lamar for several months.

Stay tuned for more updates on Drake and Kendrick Lamar on Honk Magazine.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
